How would the sims eat if they only start with a General Store? CONFUSED! No houses or anything? How do they live?
Technically with the newest rules you don't start out with anything besides the house your family lives in. Once you earn/unlock something by leveling your skills and purchasing it you then get the options of jobs and entertainment places.
A lot of people tend to put down one unoccupied residential lot per commercial. Most people tend to make their founders gardeners and fishermen/women because you can take the items out of your fridge and plant them as well as once you earn your first gardening skill you get some seeds you can also find them about your town. If you have the harvest stand you can purchase it place it on your lot or if you have a commercial lot you can place it there and buy food from that to plant. You can also consign stuff there. I had my inventor consign some stuff there. With the fishing you get sushi for free also you have fertilizer for your garden.
